Ok I would of thought the guide to rooting the hox+ would of been on a sticky thread. As it is not i went searching but have so far come up blank. I am very new to android as i have been stuck in the windows world for quite some time now. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. Or am i being a real idiot and it should be a case of going to the htc website unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom? If so does anyone have a simple guide to flashing a rom and any idea of the most stable that still has beats etc. Thank you.

Hello guys, well today I updated my phone from android 1.6 to 2.1 via the SEUS. I tried to root my device but failed in vain. I tried out the z4 root 1.30 but that didn't work either. I am a bit agreeably using the flash method. Is there any workable alternative to get my cell rooted?i would prefer a single click approach.
Thanks
In a nut shell, no. You need to flash back to 504 firmware and start from there, as said on AF.
Flash and debrand with THIS, install THIS, then THIS, and you'll have an up to date, debranded and rooted X10.

To be frank I really have no idea about flash. I have heard that it is very risky. If something goes wrong then the device ends up getting bricked.

So long as you read the first post and browse the first few pages you'll be alright. X10 is pretty much unbrickable right now so get reading and give it a go.
Well okay, I will give it a shot. Will tell you about the progress. Thanks for the help:-D. Btw are you also there in phandroid?

my x10 flasher is getting downloaded. Before i start the process, i wanted to ask you whether by flashing will my xperia get rooted? because for custom xperia recovery to work they mention that they NEED a ROOTED device. also they need an app called the busy box.
what should i do?
Is there any video tut regarding the procedure? I downloaded all the things necessary for the procedure.

One more thing, in the video he just showed how to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 I guess thats the official update which he installed. I have mine already upgraded to the OFFICIAL 2.1 so is it necessary to follow the first step of reflash?

It was posted as a guide, so you'll need to use a bit of initiative.
You mean I should still reinstall 2.1 via the procedure demonstrated?

I understand wanting to be cautious, but you've had enough information to help you and the next step should be attempting it, then reporting issues or success.

There is a useful thread here but make sure first you understand exactly what you are doing and why. If not, ask first.

Worked perfect, unlocked, rooted, and rom installed in about 40 mins.
THANKS
Hi ,
Congrats to you for getting a new rom . Actually I am also in the same boat as yours.
I read the instructions for root and installing the twrp and i think i can take the plunge.
However if you can guide how to install custom rom compatible with this twrp, that would be really helpful
Do i need to flash bootloader as well to install the custom rom
Would be great if you can point me to some instructions

You should find full information on compatibility in the first post of each ROM's development thread. If there is something you don't understand then ask there. You don't supply any information on which bootloader you have. You can double check from the position of the nvidia logo on startup: bottom middle = ICS, bottom right = JB.
If you are new to all this I would recommend you do a lot of reading before attempting anything and make your first custom ROM one that offers the best support. When you have chosen, spend as long as it takes to read and understand everything in the thread. Good luck :good:.
Thanks a lot for the advice
I am stock 4.1.1 jb, can you please let me know which custom rom would be the best to start with

Hey, sorry if this is the wrong section/wrong etiquette/wrong me. All the information on rooting and flashing and everything for this device seems to be scattered all over the place, any chance someone could make a guide on everything I should do to go from a stock, unrooted Jelly Bean T-Mobile P769 to having Cyanogenmod installed?
Thanks a whole lot.
Yes I was going to make another one tomorrow because the one I had I don't really like mainly because I have no pictures, so I'm going to make another one because I'm going to root my p769 because I bricked the one I had before so tomorrow you should see one

You're gonna have to unlock your boot loader first in order to flash cm 10.1. Which is a very complicated process.

The only reason I stepped up in that thread is the root guide that is stickied is out of date after OP being banished. Hate to see anyone downgrading to root and all when it isn't needed.

I don't think it says to down grade does it? I'll have to re-read it.
Edit: Well it sort of does, but the next paragraph says that it is no longer needed...
